NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaData::BuiltWith - Report what versions of things your distribution was built against VERSION version 1.003001 SYNOPSIS [MetaData::BuiltWith] include = Some::Module::Thats::Not::In::Preq exclude = Some::Module::Youre::Ashamed::Of show_uname = 1 ; default is 0 show_config = 1 ; default is 0 uname_call = uname ; the default uname_args = -s -r -m -p ; the default is -a DESCRIPTION Often, distribution authors get module dependencies wrong. So in such cases, its handy to be able to see what version of various packages they built with. Some would prefer to demand everyone install the same version as they did, but that's also not always necessary. Hopefully, the existence of the metadata provided by this module will help users on their end machines make intelligent choices about what modules to install in the event of a problem. OPTIONS exclude Specify modules to exclude from version reporting exclude = Foo exclude = Bar include Specify additional modules to include the version of include = Foo include = Bar show_config Report "interesting" values from %Config::Config show_config = 1 ; Boolean show_uname Report the output from "uname" show_uname = 1 ; Boolean uname_call Specify what the system "uname" function is called uname_call = uname ; String uname_args Specify arguments passed to the "uname" call. uname_args = -a ; String METHODS mvp_multivalue_args This module can take, as parameters, any volume of 'exclude' or 'include' arguments. munge_files This module scrapes together the name of all modules that exist in the ""Prereqs"" section that Dist::Zilla collects, and then works out what version of things you have, applies the various include/exclude rules, and ships that data back to Dist::Zilla via this method. See "Dist::Zilla"'s "MetaProvider" role for more details.
